In 2019, Google claimed that its quantum laptop, Sycamore, might full calculations that will take 10,000 years to run on the world’s main supercomputer – a feat of “quantum supremacy”. Final 12 months, nonetheless, different researchers refuted Google’s declare by finishing one of many calculations on a conventional computer in just 14.22 seconds. Undaunted, Google made a second declare for quantum supremacy just a few months in the past, with a new quantum computer called Willow. The agency estimated {that a} main supercomputer would require 10 septillion years to match…
